§ 3.30.040. Retirement due to disability.

Should any civil service employee, by reason of bodily injury received in, or sickness resulting from, the discharge of his duties as such, become so physically disabled as to render necessary his retirement from active service, the pension board shall order and direct that such person so retired be thereafter paid during his lifetime, unless canceled and terminated by the pension board as hereinafter provided, a yearly pension based on one and five tenths percent per year of service of the amount of the salary attached to the rank or position held by him in such service at the date of such retirement, but in no event shall such figure exceed fifty percent, and provided, that in the case of any change in salary at any time after such retirement for such rank or position, the pension shall, after each and every such change, be computed on the basis of one and five tenths percent per year of service of the amount of salary as so changed; provided further that in case an employee has been demoted for the convenience of the city within five years of the date of his retirement, the employee is entitled to receive the rate of retirement attached to the rank from which he was demoted. In the event that an employee is demoted for disciplinary reasons, the employee shall receive the rate of retirement attached to the position to which he has been demoted.
